I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Juried Art Exhibit, as I had never participated in the competition before. My friend and I were the first to arrive around 3:10, so we got first pick of all the food. They offered plenty of refreshments, including chocolate covered strawberries and spinach & artichoke dip (which were my favorites).
The overall winner of the competition was Georgia Hampton with her “Survival Series.” It was really cool to talk with her and learn about the Art & Design major here at U of M. If you have time, you should totally go and check out the piece at the League (by Beanster’s), because it’s really profound and definitely deserved the $300 prize.
I was really surprised to learn that my piece, “Primavera,” was voted for Student Choice Award! Thanks to everyone who came out and voted.
The event lasted from 3-5pm today! All of the artwork will be on display by Beanster’s until the end of this week, and it is very much worth the walk.
